Me: Fine, I'll have a bag of McMeth.
@Alice as a fairly-well-travelled kid, I'd have paid to be allowed to get into the overhead bins :D
@mattround with you on not using autocomplete. it wastes more time than it saves for me. current AI implementations come across as very competent autocomplete implementations. great for some uses, irritating for others, and at great risk of confidently putting a very wrong answer forwards.

I recently talked to a CEO of another tech company and they have a secret, internal safe word they share only when doing large money transfers, because there are so many scams and deepfakes. This is the kinkiest 💩 I have ever heard of 🤯

I wish more people understood that "I want the computer to generate a natural language text that sounds like a plausible answer to a question about x" and "I want the computer to answer a question about x" are two very different problems.
@nbatalha I'm hearing "forbidden alien icelolly" here

Getting a lot of questions so to clean up confusion—here’s how to respond when someone wishes you “Ramadan Mubarak”:
•Ramadan Mubarak to you too!
•Ramadan Kareem!
•Khair Mubarak!
•Happy Ramadan!
•I will buy you tacos after Ramadan ends!
So if you were unsure how to reply, you’re welcome.😉 May you all have a blessed and happy month full of peace and service to all humanity. Amen. ❤️

Did you know Charles Dickens worked for two midlands newspapers?

@mattround can you tell the difference between the output of a poor PM or recruiter from an AI chatbot?
my best guess would be the AI chatbot using better grammar

Asking #BorisJohnson if he lied is like asking a tubby dog with brown smears all over its face, in a kitchen covered in brown paw prints, if it stole and ate all the chocolates.
Dog: "I'll admit I ate the chocolates, but I wasn't aware that I was eating them at the time"
